    Worst possession of the game was when we had the lead after two straight great plays buy Jalen as the primary ball handler, then Porter dribbles up and literally holds the ball for 20 seconds. Makes me want to punch the TV. Why do the Rockets keep running this guy out there?

    eh, the three point shot he put up he had not choice he got the ball very late. And his drive and miss layup - look you don't get upset at that play considering his age. He didn't play poorly tonight.

    Rockets are just an awful rebounding team, play terrible team defense, and they are poor at moving the ball around to get good shots. So basically - they suck at everything but dunking.

    It's hard to critique one player's plays when you look at that context.

    Their bigs basically shot 100 percent from the field, f this game lol. I think if Jalen Smith didn't go down we would have lost more handily

    Jalen and Wood PnR looked very good tonight - it’s what’s missing with Wood and KPJ

    “They tried to inbound the ball to Christian Wood (with Jalen Green open)”

    Not that it would have a mattered but green was wide open and he threw to woods who had a double team. Again they would have lost still but it goes to show you how invisible green is to the non rookies.

    He did hold the ball for 20 seconds on that posession and passed it to a covered JG who had nowhere to go and passed it back. It's fine in the end, we wanted to lose that anyway, probably.

    Last pnr with Jalen and Wood was great. Wood was wide open. Great awareness from Jalen to get the ball to wood.
